1.1. CurrencyAll prices denoted on the .COM variation of our website are in terms of USD. If your debit or credit card's primary currency is not USD, your card issuer will apply a conversion based on their exchange rates which we have no control over.

1.2. Delivery of ServiceOnce your order is placed, our system will automatically provision you with an account which you can use to access our Client Area.All orders are subjected to an automatic screening process by our system and/or our payment processors(s) to prevent fraud. It is your responsibility to provide us with accurate billing, contact and payment information so that your order will be screened successfully. Providing false contact information of any kind may result in the termination of your account or the rejection of your order.In the event our automatic screening process marks your order as fraudulent, we may reach out to you to request for additional documents such as your government issued identification and possibly a scan of the credit card used for the purchase. In the event these documents are not provided on request, the order may be considered fraudulent in nature and be denied. These documents will only be reviewed by authorized personnel, however we may retain them for up to 14 months to safeguard against chargebacks and potential frauds. After this 14 months period, we will securely dispose of your documents in order to prevent loss, theft, misuse, or unauthorised access.Your order is only processed after we receive full payment through any of our supported payment methods. After submitting full payment, it can take a few minutes for our system to process the order.All orders are delivered electronically via email. If you have any questions about your order, please open a support ticket with us.

1.3. DiscontinuationWe reserve the right to discontinue any of our Services at our sole discretion. If a particular service is to be discontinued, we will provide advance notice of at least 30 days to the Customer.

1.4. Pricing AdjustmentWe reserve the right to adjust the prices of any of our Services at our sole discretion. If there is to be a price adjustment, we will provide advance notice of at least 30 days to the Customer. Should the renewal date of the affected Services fall within the 30 days period, the Customer is allowed to renew the Services at the prevailing rates for one more billing cycle.

1.5. Website TransferWe offer complementary website transfer with the purchase of any of our Services. If you are moving to us from another hosting provider, we can assist with the transfer of your website's data from your previous hosting provider to our servers.For Customers purchasing our Web Hosting Package, we can assist you in transferring up to 10 cPanel accounts free of charge per order and 10 cPanel accounts on each subsequent month of service. For every 3 cPanel accounts in excess of the aforementioned numbers, a $1.00 charge will apply. For numbers slightly exceeding the aforementioned numbers, we may at our sole discretion waive the additional charges.Our staffs will make every effort to help you to transfer your website's data to us, however this is done on a courtesy basis and we cannot make any guarantee about the success of the website transfer and the amount of time involved.To ensure fairness for all Customers, website transfer requests are processed in the order that we receive them. This process can potentially take up to 48/72 hours depending on transfer queue size, but we will usually complete them much sooner. If a transfer request needs to be fulfilled before a certain date/time, please reach out to us in advance so it can be scheduled for you.The process behind a website transfer is dependent on many factors which are often beyond our control. For example, your previous hosting provider's server may be inaccessible or experiencing technical issues (contributing to high server load, etc). Your previous hosting provider may also have disabled the Backup function, or may be running a different control panel other than cPanel. Any of the aforementioned factors can contribute significantly to the amount of time required to transfer your website's data, or whether we could even assist you to transfer your website's data to begin with.Due to possible differences between your previous provider's hosting environment and ours, it is possible that your website may not function properly after the transfer. It is your responsibility to check for possible issues, as well as the integrity of your website's data and inform us immediately if there is any issue, so that we can investigate and address accordingly. You are encouraged to maintain your previous hosting provider's service for at least 30 days after your website has been transferred to us, in order to allow you buffer time to look through your transferred website's data thoroughly and raise any possible issue to us for investigation.

2.1. ContentAll Services provided by Steadyio may only be used for lawful purposes.

In the event we are made aware of an account that has been compromised or hacked, we may immediately suspend the cPanel account pending a full investigation.
